Elon Musk Revealed Breakthrough Goals for Starship V4 & Raptor 4 Stunned the whole Rocket industry…
Starship Version 4 and Raptor 4 are no longer distant concepts. Elon Musk has now revealed breakthrough performance targets that could redefine the future of heavy-lift launch vehicles—and potentially stun the entire rocket industry.
In this episode of Great SpaceX, we take a deep technical look at what Musk has confirmed about Starship V4 and Raptor 4, including the push toward 300 metric tons of thrust per engine, a total liftoff thrust approaching—or exceeding—10,000 metric tons, and how these upgrades compare to Saturn V and every operational rocket flying today.
As SpaceX prepares for Flight 12, the first flight of Starship Version 3, testing is already accelerating. Version 3 and Raptor 3 focus heavily on simplification, reliability, and raw power, laying the groundwork for the much more ambitious Version 4 architecture. But Musk’s recent statements suggest SpaceX is already thinking beyond V3, targeting larger vehicles, more engines, higher thrust, and dramatically increased payload capacity.

This video explains:
How Raptor 3 sets the foundation for Raptor 4
Why SpaceX may increase engine thrust, engine count, or both
How Starship V4 could reach 10,000+ tons of liftoff thrust
The case for 35 booster engines and 42 total engines across the stack
Why Starship V4 could double payload capacity to over 200 tons to orbit
How these upgrades enable lunar bases, Mars cities, massive space stations, and next-generation Starlink deployment
Beyond raw numbers, we examine why Raptor 4 is expected to focus even more on simplification, durability, rapid reuse, and cost reduction—and why those factors matter just as much as thrust when building a fully reusable super-heavy launch system.

Starship Version 4 is projected to fly as early as 2027. If successful, it would become the most powerful and capable rocket ever built, unlocking missions no existing vehicle can realistically support—from sustained Moon bases and Mars colonization to Earth-to-Earth transport and orbital megastructures.
